Shocking Allergy Incident Rocks School! Parents Urged to Stay Vigilant as New School Year Approaches!
Broward County, FLORIDA - As we approach the commencement of a new school year, schools and parents are urged to exercise vigilance and awareness when it comes to their children's health and safety.
A recent incident at Renaissance Charter School at Pines serves as a stark reminder of the critical importance of effective communication and proper protocols for addressing children's allergies within educational settings.
In a distressing turn of events, a parent had previously informed the original teacher about their child's allergies and diligently provided an epinephrine auto-injector (EpiPen) to ensure swift medical intervention if necessary. However, a change in staff occurred, and a new teacher was assigned to the child's class without proper transfer of essential information.
The school administration claims that the new teacher was not given the EpiPen, leading to a catastrophic outcome. Tragically, the child suffered an allergic reaction at school, necessitating immediate medical attention. Regrettably, due to the school's actions and inactions, the child was rendered unconscious and rushed to the emergency room.
Despite the teacher's initial denial of having knowledge about the allergy, a surfaced text message now reveals that she was indeed aware of the allergy.
In light of this devastating incident, the family of the affected child has entrusted their legal representation to Montgomery Law, EducationLawyers.com. Our experienced team is committed to seeking justice for the family and ensuring accountability for the school's failure to protect the well-being of its students.

"Parents should be able to expect their children will be safe at school.
